Sarah was a hunter, plain and simple. A predator. She was very good at finding who, or what she wanted. She was also very good at a number of other hunter related skills, but those weren’t relevant in the current situation. She just wanted to have a conversation with this individual. THough, to be honest, Sarah was never very good at conversations.

Something you should always establish with your prey is where they frequented, to establish where they commonly went. The next step was deciding when to establish contact. Sarah personally didn’t want to draw too much attention, so she had to decide on a location where their interaction would be overlooked. So, when Sarah discovered Ares’ “side job” is supplied her with the perfect opportunity. Because he had to get rid of his newly acquired products. Which meant… the Black Market.

Sarah was very well acquainted with the place and those that frequented the black market. So, there was quite a bit of joyous reunions when Sarah showed up. She was actually sitting at one of the stalled, feet propped up on the table, chatting with one of the dealers that often worked with Ares when the man in question finally appeared. From her position it would have been impossible to see her until Ares stood right in front of the stall.

”So do you steal for a hobby, or are you bribing Callisto for visitation rights?”

ALMOST ONE YEAR AGO, Ares Lestrange woke up to bright lights, confused to his surroundings and simply how he was alive. The memory that came rushing back was the destruction of his family home, his bravery to cover his little sister with his own body, while he woke up to the discovery that his parents were dead and sister in what seemed to be solitary confinement. It was an event and a half, one to experience and disappear from. And the latter was simple to do. For months, he disappeared, laying low with the Muggles under many aliases as he jumped around, but when the tension in the wizarding world slowly subdued, Ares made his return. The bond with his son had been weakened from his time away, but with some discussion with Callisto, the mother of his child’s sister (ultimately Sebastian’s aunt), things were rocky but manageable. Each weekend he was granted visiting access, and as time pressed on, simple weekends followed through to many times throughout the week.

It was a fresh start for Ares and his son, with Sebastian finally recognising him, instead of questioning his aunts (as well as Grandma and Grandpa) on who his father was. Sebastian had a curious mind for a three year old. But to keep providing for his son and conclusively himself, jobs had to be carried out. Some legal and some…Not. Thieving had always been an easy job for the Lestrange, his knack for keeping his victims in a discussion, a loop that kept them interested was enough for his fingers to twirl, the mental preparation for his spells playing in his favour. It was easier to steal as the Lestrange moved, but each jewel pulled from a wizard’s coat pocket or simply fumbled from the pockets of a Muggle was only handed over to one trusty buyer. An old geezer, half-goblin and a devilish ugly sight, it simply confused Ares as to how the man ended up with a name like Julio.

A medium-sized ratty pouch was the first thing to land on the counter of Julio’s stall, containing the jewels and precious items he had collected throughout the day. They needed deposing of and Ares needed money. Simple as. But before Ares could even begin his speech, hoping the Black Market influenced man wouldn’t fill his mind with shitty trades, words that came from a familiar voice confused him. Until he looked down, peering properly. It was her alright. ”A hobby is the easiest way of putting it.” He replied, forcing a grin upon his lips. ”When did you get back? Callisto said you went off to kill a few randoms, oh-and your brother, before disappearing all together.”

Sarah’s curiosity was definitely peaked when the pouch dropped on the counter, though not enough to explore the contents. It was something he’d stolen, most certainly. And had to be at least somewhat valuable since he was selling it to a vendor in the black market. If it wasn’t valuable it wouldn’t be worth stealing in the first place.

When Ares finally realized who had spoken and looked down Sarah put on an innocent smile. ”Is that what she said?.” It wasn’t at admittance, but it also wasn’t a denial. It was fairly believable though that Sarah would go on a killing spree, especially considered she’d been expelled from Hogwarts for attacking another student. ”I got back a few weeks ago. Been pretty busy with a few jobs, but I’m sure you know how that is.” They were both Purifiers, after all.

ARES’ DEVELOPING SMILE ONLY GREW to match the woman he once loved. The bag was out of his grasp now, which meant it had nothing to do with him, aside from getting paid as the job was complete after all. He nodded in the direction of his dealer, a small bag of Galleons dropping in his hand, leading to the Lestrange to completely turn to Sarah. ”Mhmm.” He hummed, pushing himself off the counter to head closer towards her. ”That’s exactly what she said.” He added, noting she hadn’t exactly denied the accusation. If the tension between them wasn’t ridiculously high, Ares knew he would have found his ways with her, to flirt and probably get what they both wanted.

He nodded in understanding, ever since returning home to London and even Scotland, Elaine had been weary of Ares’ potential as a Purifier, but to make it up to the superior woman, he promised to be a part of the infiltration for Azkaban. And that went exceptionally well. Even though Sarah was before him, the smile Ares held disappeared after some time, unsure of how to approach a situation like this. ”You haven’t seen him yet…Have you?” It was probably Callisto’s words to keep Sebastian away from the other Oliveira, considering how…insane she pretty much was. ”He’s bigger now.” He added for clarification. ”Doesn’t talk about you much though.”
